Recycle Lab Waste with appCYCLE Sustainable Solutions

Laboratories generate large volumes of non‑hazardous waste every day. Items such as pipette tip boxes, plastic packaging, masks and gloves quickly accumulate. Without proper systems, much of this waste ends up in landfill or incineration. As a result, carbon emissions rise and valuable materials go to waste.

Fortunately, recycling lab waste does not need to be complicated. The appCYCLE range from Appleton Woods offers a simple way to support sustainability while keeping materials in use.

appCYCLE: A Smarter Way to Recycle Lab Waste

The appCYCLE recycling service provides an all‑in‑one solution for non‑hazardous laboratory waste. In partnership with MyGroup, appCYCLE keeps materials within the circular economy rather than disposing of them.

Your waste enters a closed‑loop recycling process. MyGroup collects it, then shreds, washes and reforms the materials. These recycled outputs become MYboard™ panels and remanufactured textiles, ready for reuse. Consequently, laboratories reduce waste and support sustainable solutions at the same time.

appCYCLE Recycling Containers to Suit Every Laboratory

Different laboratories create different waste volumes. Therefore, appCYCLE offers two container sizes to match your needs.

100 Litre appCYCLE Box

This option fits perfectly inside busy labs. The 100 Litre box handles daily non‑hazardous waste safely and efficiently. Researchers can recycle lab plastics and PPE without disrupting workflows.

1000 Litre Hopper‑Style appCYCLE Unit

High‑volume laboratories benefit from the larger hopper system. The 1000 Litre unit sits outside the building for easy access. Smaller 100 Litre boxes decant directly into it, making waste management straightforward and scalable.

What the appCYCLE All‑in‑One Service Includes

The appCYCLE service removes complexity from laboratory recycling. Each package includes:

  • A recycling container in your chosen size
  • A fitted liner for simple handling
  • Free UK‑wide collections when full
  • Processing at MyGroup’s UK facilities
  • Recycling into high‑quality reusable materials
  • One tree planted for every unit purchased

As a result, labs actively divert waste from landfill and incineration. At the same time, they reduce their carbon footprint and help restore natural habitats.

Sustainability remains a long‑term commitment at Appleton Woods. Therefore, additional specialist recycling services are currently in development. These new appCYCLE solutions will support more laboratory waste streams and advanced material recovery.
